It is so unfortunate that our people are suffering on their father’s land. I don’t want to believe that Shell is the major problem as far as this issue is concerned. We bad leaders almost everywhere in Nigeria causing all sorts of problems for poor people. I strongly believe that some people in government have been negotiating and asking Shell to give them a token out of the whole compensation which Shell supposed to pay those communities that are involved. Definitely such token would translated to billions which few people will share among themselves.
